PHP is amongst the most widely used open-source server-side programming languages. It’s pretty popular as it’s free software, which can be used to set up responsive websites such as social networking websites, online stores or online learning websites instead of static HTML-based sites. A PHP module should be activated on the web server where a PHP website is hosted so that its source code can be ‘decoded’. Since there are no license fees for such a module and the language offers infinite possibilities for the apps that you develop, there are 100s of millions of PHP-powered websites. What is more, there’re a ton of PHP scripts, which you can use for your sites without having to possess any coding capabilities. As there are a number of versions of PHP, you should confirm whether the same version that you used whilst creating your site is available on the web server as well.

PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 Support in Cloud Website Hosting

In case you order a cloud website hosting package from our company, you won’t ever need to ask yourself if your websites are compatible with the web hosting environment, since several versions of PHP are activated on our servers for the sake of your convenience. The Hepsia Control Panel will permit you to select PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7 and PHP 8 with only one single click and if you wish to change the version, the new settings will take effect instantly. Thus, years of work on sites created with an older version will not be wasted. Our web hosting platform will even allow you to use a different PHP version for each domain hosted in your account, which suggests that you can run newer and older scripts simultaneously. Most web hosting companies on the marketplace support one, sometimes two versions of PHP. Unlike them, we feel that you should be the one to choose the version that your very own websites will use.
